Saturday marked the return of one of our favorite holiday-related animal costume parades of the year: the 24th annual Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Parade! Whether they're dressed as Dogtor Zizmor, Mutt Romney or a literal poop factory, the event is always a blast, and brings out thousands of people (even if it ends up being more of a costume contest than a parade). Highlights from this year's group included Ewok dogs, Shake Shack pups, Pug-casso and Teddy Roosevelt riding his horse.
